According to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald, the NFL indicated that Pouncey wouldn’t face any kind of suspension from the investigation, with a league spokesman saying: “I don’t anticipate having to address the issue again.” ...

Good. Now a question I've not seen anyone ask. If this man is recovering from hip surgery that will keep him out the first month of the season, then why is he in a night club?

IMO, this is another example of poor choices from him. Does Miami want to invest in a player who makes bad choice after bad choice and is not showing any signs of changing?

Re: Report: Mike Pouncey clear of any bullying punishment

I understand the sentiment that Pouncey's judgement seems poor. However, I think some of us are getting way ahead of ourselves.

He has not been arrested. He does not have a history of repeated dumb personal fouls on the field. His biggest crimes to this point would seem to be wearing a stupid hat and going to a club to celebrate his birthday. His involvement in "bullygate" is unclear to us, and not bad enough for the league to suspend him even a game.

Before we light our torches, grab our pitchforks and ready the hangman's noose, let's remember that football in the trenches is a violent, brutal game and it takes a certain kind of guy to play it well. Pouncey is that kind of guy. If you're not comfortable with that, go watch tennis.

Lets not forget the tweet about having the rookies buy him some stuff, right after the bullygate ended. Not saying Miami should not resign him, but is it just a matter of time before the law of averages catch up to his stupidity?

He was at a club to celebrate his B/Day? Why? He has a hip issue that I would think needs rest, not a night on the town.
